Leader-mw | Introduction to 2.4 to 3.5 Adapter |
leader-mw precision 2.4mm to 3.5mm coaxial adapter is an essential component for high-frequency test and measurement systems, designed to provide a seamless and low-loss interface between two common connector types. Its primary function is to enable accurate interconnection of components and cables with 2.4mm (typically female) and 3.5mm (typically male) interfaces without compromising signal integrity.
Engineered for exceptional performance, the adapter operates reliably up to 33 GHz, making it ideal for applications in research and development, aerospace, defense, and telecommunications, where testing often extends into the Ka-band. The standout specification is its outstanding Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1.15, which is a measure of signal reflection. This ultra-low VSWR indicates a near-perfect impedance match (50 ohms), ensuring minimal signal loss and distortion.
Constructed with premium materials and advanced machining techniques, the adapter guarantees excellent phase stability and mechanical durability. The 2.4mm interface, known for its robust inner contact, mates safely with the more common 3.5mm connector, allowing for versatile use with a wide range of equipment. This adapter is a critical solution for engineers who demand maximum accuracy and performance in their microwave measurements, ensuring that interconnects do not become the weakest link in their signal chain.
